Subprograms, changing between subprograms
Subprograms can only be created by authorized persons. Each program can have up
to 6 subprograms.
Different settings are saved in the subprograms of a program for the instruments. Settings may be e.g. mode, effect or assignment of a footswitch. Subprograms therefore
offer you the possibility of switching settings of an instrument, without changing the
mode, effect, footswitch assignment etc. on the touchscreen.

Fig. 5-21
You see subprograms as tabs under the name of the program (3). Example: Subprogram monopolar (1) and bipolar (2). The tab of the active subprogram is highlighted
with a bold border.
Changing between subprograms
 Press the ReMode button of the footswitch.
– Or –
 If the handpiece of the instrument has a ReMode button, press the ReMode button
of the handpiece.
– Or –
 An assistant can touch the tab of the subprogram on the touchscreen.

8 • Monopolar CUT modes
autoCUT
Properties
PPS (Power Peak System)
Reproducible, smooth cuts, minimal to moderate hemostasis.
The autoCUT mode is equipped with PPS.
A special problem during incision may be posed by the initial incision phase, in particular when the cutting electrode is pressed firmly against the tissue to be cut, before
activation of the HF generator. The cutting electrode therefore has a relatively extensive, low-resistance contact with the tissue, e.g. in TUR.
In such cases, the HF generator must offer an above-average output so that the initial
incision is not delayed, as otherwise an excessive coagulation necrosis may be produced at the point of initial incision.
The VIO 3 is equipped with automatic power control (PPS). PPS detects low resistance
loads and controls the HF generator such that it briefly provides sufficient output to
ensure the HF voltage necessary or intensity of the electrical arc for the cutting quality
selected even with low-resistance loads.

8 • Monopolar CUT modes
Properties
The cut consists of alternating cutting and coagulating phases. The cut is easy to control and is characterised by a reproducible, preselectable coagulation property while
cutting.
Areas of use
Endoscopic interventions in which alternating cutting and coagulation with activation
is called for.
Cutting duration
Depending on the size, type and location of lesions, it may be advantageous to vary
cutting duration. You can set cutting duration to one of 4 levels. Cutting duration has
a major influence on cutting width.
Cutting interval
The cutting interval is the amount of time between the start of a cutting cycle and the
start of the next cutting cycle. The cutting interval thus comprises one cutting cycle
and one coagulation cycle. You can set the cutting interval to one of 10 levels. The
higher the level, the longer the cutting interval and coagulation cycle. A short cutting
interval makes it easier to remove the lesion quickly. A long cutting interval makes it
easier to remove the lesion slowly under control.

Properties
Slow, deep coagulation without spark generation, consequently no carbonization of
the tissue. Adhesion of the electrode to the tissue is greatly reduced.
Areas of use
All surgical procedures that call for safe, “deep” coagulation or in which adhesion of
the electrode would have a negative effect on the coagulation process.
AUTO STOP switchable
AUTO STOP ends activation automatically on attainment of sufficient desiccation.
Touch the arrow on the lower edge of the main screen if required. The Assign activation type field opens. Drag the AUTO STOP symbol to the docking point of the required
instrument.

10 • Bipolar CUT modes
highCUT bipolar
PPS (Power Peak System)
Reproducible, smooth cuts, low to moderate hemostasis.
The highCUT bipolar mode is equipped with PPS.
A special problem during incision may be posed by the initial incision phase, in particular when the cutting electrode is pressed firmly against the tissue to be cut, before
activation of the HF generator. The cutting electrode therefore has a relatively extensive, low-resistance contact with the tissue, e.g. in TUR.
In such cases, the HF generator must offer an above-average output so that the initial
incision is not delayed, as otherwise an excessive coagulation necrosis may be produced at the point of initial incision.
The VIO 3 is equipped with automatic power control (PPS). PPS detects low resistance
loads and controls the HF generator such that it briefly provides sufficient output to
ensure the HF voltage necessary or intensity of the electrical arc for the cutting quality
selected even with low-resistance loads.
Thanks to PPS, the average output can be limited to relatively low levels, something
which represents improved protection from unintentional thermal tissue damage.

Properties
Slow, deep coagulation without spark generation, consequently no carbonization of
the tissue. Adhesion of the electrode to the tissue is greatly reduced.
Areas of use
All surgical procedures that call for safe coagulation with bipolar instruments. Coagulation in Bipolar resection.
AUTO START switchable
When the instrument touches tissue, coagulation starts automatically after a specified
period of time. AUTO START is not available with bipolar resection.
Touch the arrow on the lower edge of the main screen if required. The Assign activation type field opens. Drag the AUTO START symbol to the docking point of the required instrument.

QuickStart switchable
With QuickStart, a brief voltage pulse is applied to the tissue to attain a tissue effect
quicker, without essentially influencing the coagulation result. QuickStart is not available with bipolar resection.
Touch the COAG effect display on the main screen if required. A window opens in which
you can switch on QuickStart.

thermoSEAL®
Special COAG mode to seal vessels up to 7 mm diameter or to coagulate vascularized
tissue, without changing the settings. The appropriate Erbe instruments are required
to seal vessels up to 7 mm diameter.
Operating principle: The mode adapts the HF voltage and activation time to the
amount of tissue and the instrument used.
Areas of use
All surgical procedures that call for sealing vessels and tissue bundles. Only use with
vessel sealing instruments (e.g. Erbe BiClamp).
AUTO START switchable
When the instrument touches tissue, coagulation starts automatically after a specified
period of time.
Touch the arrow on the lower edge of the main screen if required. The Assign activation type field opens. Drag the AUTO START symbol to the docking point of the required instrument.
AUTO STOP
The AUTO STOP function is matched to the thermoSEAL mode.
If the user grips the tissue with the jaws and presses the branches together firmly, the
AUTO STOP function stops the activation automatically as soon as the necessary tissue
dessication is achieved.
If the user only presses the branches together lightly, e.g. in coagulation of vascularized tissue, no AUTO STOP occurs. In this case, the user ends the activation.

autoCUT
Properties
PPS (Power Peak System)
Reproducible, smooth cuts, minimal to moderate hemostasis.
The autoCUT mode is equipped with PPS.
A special problem during incision may be posed by the initial incision phase, in particular when the cutting electrode is pressed firmly against the tissue to be cut, before
activation of the HF generator. The cutting electrode therefore has a relatively extensive, low-resistance contact with the tissue, e.g. in TUR.
In such cases, the HF generator must offer an above-average output so that the initial
incision is not delayed, as otherwise an excessive coagulation necrosis may be produced at the point of initial incision.
The VIO 3 is equipped with automatic power control (PPS). PPS detects low resistance
loads and controls the HF generator such that it briefly provides sufficient output to
ensure the HF voltage necessary or intensity of the electrical arc for the cutting quality
selected even with low-resistance loads.

Properties
Slow, deep coagulation without spark generation, consequently no carbonization of
the tissue. Adhesion of the electrode to the tissue is greatly reduced.
Areas of use
All surgical procedures that call for safe, “deep” coagulation or in which adhesion of
the electrode would have a negative effect on the coagulation process.
AUTO STOP switchable
AUTO STOP ends activation automatically on attainment of sufficient desiccation.
Touch the arrow on the lower edge of the main screen if required. The Assign activation type field opens. Drag the AUTO STOP symbol to the docking point of the required
instrument.

Effective, fast “standard” coagulation.
Contact coagulation, clamp coagulation, e.g. via insulated monopolar forceps.
On detection of a spark, adhesion of tissue to the instrument and carbonization is significantly reduced by automatically switching off.
